[TriLUG] [For Sale] Lab-In-A-Box: Home lab needs to go! Roughly 28 RU & 600+ lbs, box not included

[Derek Linz via TriLUG]

I knew I'd forget something:

Battery Backup: APC SU700X167 700VA 450W 120-230V UPS

$899 shipped

Come on, no one wants to make an offer?

I'll throw out $3,000 as an asking price...

That's $4,000 less than the low-end Ebay ranged of $7,000-18,000!

Thanks,
Derek LInz
